Cultural fusion between India and Trinidad

The year 2020 is the centennial anniversary of the legal abolition of the Indian Indentureship system, a system that resulted in the importation of over half a million East Indians to the Caribbean. Last Friday, a spectacular show of East Indian dance and music was staged by the Indian Diaspora Council of T&T at the Bisram Gopie Auditorium, Divali Nagar, in Chaguanas.

The Council, an umbrella body of the major Indian organisations in T&T, is chaired by psychiatrist/pundit Dr Rampersad Parasram and Friday’s production directed by author, economist, dancer,choreographer, the eminent Dr Sat Balkaransingh.
